Electrolux Dishwasher Error Code i30: Meaning and Fix

Reading the dishwasher display
A dishwasher reports its fault in the display window, or by blinking a cycle light a set number of times with a pause between groups. Count the blinks and pauses before opening the door. Electrolux uses the same E, F and i prefixes as Frigidaire.
Electrolux builds the platforms behind both its own line and Frigidaire, so its codes line up closely with Frigidaire ones. Look for E codes on laundry, F codes on ranges and i codes on dishwashers. The codes apply to model numbers such as EIDW5905JS, EDSH4944AS and EFME527UIW; check the label on your unit to confirm yours.

Questions
What does the i30 code mean on a Electrolux dishwasher?
The base sensor tripped because water is where it should not be.
Can I fix the i30 code myself?
Start with the free checks (power reset, connectors, obvious blockages). The likely repair involves the water inlet valve and live-circuit testing, so if the code returns, a qualified technician is the safer call.
How do I clear the i30 code?
Switch off the dishwasher breaker or hold Cancel/Drain, wait a few minutes and run a short rinse. If i30 comes back, the underlying fault is still there; start with this: leaking door seal or hose.
